HotSync Hangs: Binding to path /dev/ttyUSB0
matilda:~$ pilot-xfer -L

Please press the HotSync button now... (hangs)
The hotsync to my m515 was working 2 weeks ago, but has now mysteriously
stopped. The syslog indicates that the visor drivers are being installed ok.
Strange. The only significant thing that may have changed was the usb-perms deb
package.
Here is a summary of my system:

ps. If I can get this working I will have shaken off the M$ monkey completely!
Thanks pilot-link team for the great progress so far.
pps. Sorry to pilot-link if this turns out to be a debian specific problem.
